Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim.

In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. All the praises and thanks be to Allâh, the Lord of the 'Alamîn . The Only Owner of the Day of Recompense. You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help. Guide us to the Straight Way. The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace , not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger, nor of those who went astray .

80: ('Abasa)- He frowned

(He Frowned)

Number of Verses: 42

Sūra ʿAbasa (Arabic: سورة عَبَسَ, literally: He Frowned) is the eightieth sura of quran. It is a makki sura of Qur'an which is located in the thirtieth . This sura is called Abasa because it starts with the word. This sura is about the value and significance of quran, man's ingratitude toward god's blessings, the horrifying incidents of the resurrection day and the fate of humans in that day.

In the first verses of this sura, God condemned a person who treated a blind person badly. There are disagreements among the exegetes about the identity of the condemned person; whether he was prophet muhammad(s) or someone else.

The thirty four to thirty seven verses of this sura are important, as they describe the Resurrection, when people will flee from their relatives including their brothers, mothers, fathers, spouses, and children. As stated in narrations, those who recite Sura Abasa will be happy and pleased in the day of judgement.

Surah Abasa is short, but contains various important subjects, which especially emphasize on the Resurrection and can be summarized under five topics:

1. Allah's serious admonishment to the one who did not show suitable behavior to a truth‑seeking blind man.

2. The importance of the Holy Qur'an.

3. Man's ungratefulness toward the blessings of Allah.

4. A partial description about His blessings in the field of nutrition for Men and animals in order to stimulate a sense of thankfulness.

5. Some hints about the terrible incidents of the Day of Judgment' and the fate of the believers and unbelievers on that Day.

The name of the Surah is derived from its first verse.

A tradition from Prophet Muhammad (S) says:

"One who studies Surah 'Abasa will arrive at the Gathering Place smiling and rejoicing will arrive at the Gathering Place smiling and rejoicing on The Day of Judgment."

Lessons

Never side-line someone based on his inferior standing in society.Give priority in benefit and advice to those who are more likely to take benefit from it.Had the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم been anything but a true Prophet of Allāh, he would not have conveyed this sūrah to the Ummah, because it is he who has been sternly reprimanded by Allāh in it.Despite Allāh showering man with innumerable favours, he is still ungrateful.Allāh is the one who facilitated an easy entrance for us into this world.The food we see on our dining mats has been facilitated from scratch by Allāh; right from rainfall, splitting the earth for the shoots to emerge, to ripened fruits, trees, and gardens.On the Day of Judgement, a person will run from his/her sibling; parents; spouses and children, fearing only for him/herself.
